Notes: With the mention of auras and a heart bond of gold thread, this prompt reminded me of
naadi's Checkmate. So now the gold thread also includes the gold and crystal beads of a Ti'kira binding. Thank you to the mods for all the work you do, and for patience and understanding.

“What does this spell do again?” Harry asked, closing his eyes as requested.
“All things that possess magic are connected. This will let you temporarily see those connections,” Draco explained.
Harry heard a whispered spell and felt Draco’s magic wash over him. When he opened his eyes, the world was awash with colour. They were in the Malfoy gardens and everywhere Harry looked there were gossamer webs of magic.
The rose bush in front of them had pink shimmering strands and when Harry ran his hands across them he could smell the blooms, even though it was the dead of winter. His hand came back damp, as if coated in dew.
He touched the red strands on a nearby tree and suddenly the taste of fresh apples burst across his tongue. Another plant filled his nose with the smell of pollen. A hum of contentment, he realized, was coming from a nearby bee.
He turned to Draco and gasped. Draco was surrounded by threads of silver and green and blue. They swirled around him like the finest cloak.
Harry glanced at himself and saw his magic was made up of reds and greens.
And there, strung between them, was a single golden thread. It looked delicate and so, so breakable but when Harry touched it, he could feel its strength. He also felt Draco’s emotions, as well as his own. All of their worries, happiness, insecurities, pleasure strung between them.
